Five US nationals have been interrogated by Pakistani intelligence agents after they were arrested in the eastern Pakistani city of Sargodha. "These young Americans are in our custody," Sargodha police Chief Javed Islam said on Thursday. "They are telling us that they came to Pakistan for jihad."

Three of the arrested Americans are of Pakistani descent, one is of Egyptian descent and the other has Yemeni heritage, according to police officer Tahir Gujjar. The US officials say the men are those who were reported missing more than a week ago by their families in Washington DC.

Their families asked the US Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) for help after finding a farewell video left by the men showing scenes of war and casualties and saying Muslims must be defended.

Said, one, "Of course we wanted them taught the proper attitude in religious school, but we never thought they'd be stupid enough to act on it!"

Their families asked the US Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) for help after finding a farewell video left by the men showing scenes of war and casualties and saying Muslims must be defended.

The National Executive Director of the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Nihad Awad also confirmed their arrest. The FBI said it was working with families and local law enforcement to investigate the "missing students".

"We are working with Pakistani authorities to determine their identities and the nature of their business there, if indeed these are the students who had gone missing," said Lindsey Godwin, an FBI spokeswoman.

A top government official who spoke on condition of anonymity said some Pakistanis alleged to have helped the US nationals were also detained in Sargodha.

#3 OOOPSIES, forgot THE SEQUENTIAL DESTRUCTION OF MUSLIM NATIONS [Wilful Conpiracy or Unintended Consequence]???

Lest we fergit, 1990's NET > SDI = STRATEGIC DESTRUCTION OF ISLAM, mostly by internal Radicalist or Hardline Islamists whom refuse to engage in dedic non-Violent, non-Jihad/Warfare-based reform of Islam [Protestant Reformation = Islamic Reformation]...
